Jeremiah 27:11-17

11But the nationH1471 that shall bringH935 their neckH6677 under the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and serveH5647 him, that nationH1471 will I let remainH3427 in their own landH127, saith Jehovah; and they shall till it, and dwellH3427 therein.

12And I spake to ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 according to all these wordsH1697, sayingH559, BringH935 your necksH6677 under the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and serveH5647 him and his peopleH5971, and liveH2421. 13WhyH4100 will ye dieH4191, thou and thy peopleH5971, by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698, as Jehovah hath spokenH1696 concerningH413 the nationH1471 that will not serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894? 14And hearken not unto the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 that speak unto you, sayingH559, Ye shall not serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894; for they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you. 15For I have not sentH7971 them, saith Jehovah, but they prophesyH5012 falsely in my nameH8034; that I may driveH5080 you out, and that ye may perishH6, ye, and the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 unto you.

16Also I spake to the priestsH3548 and to all this peopleH5971, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: Hearken not to the wordsH1697 of your prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 unto you, sayingH559, Behold, the vesselsH3627 of Jehovah’s houseH1004 shall nowH6258 shortly be broughtH7725 again from BabylonH894; for they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you. 17Hearken not unto them; serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and liveH2421: wherefore should this cityH5892 becomeH1961 a desolationH2723?
